if to be completed on or before

The railway is to be a commercia

The Hero
of the War
Eve: -incc the War was over Nations
ha' -v- been arguing over Who won
it." And if the discussion is not
stopped we may have to have another
War just to decide who won the last
i nr. If we ever do go into another
War, have it understood there is to
be a Referee, and at the finish he is
to announce 1'Who Won and how
much." In the last War we paid
Transportation both ways and rental
on the grounds,and now all England
and France say i>, "Wc didn't eet
there soon enough." Germany dont
seem to ever have uttered any complaint
or. the latencssof our arrival, so
that ju>t shows you, you cant please
everybody, even for Humanity's sake.
I must bring the word "Bull" Durham
in this even if I have to drag it
in by the horns. It just struck mc,
and after careful examination of
complaints and statistics, I find that
"Bull" Durham was the only thing
connected with America during the
War that France and England havent
been able to criticise. It must be good.
P. S. There is going to be another piece
in this paper soon. Look for it.
SIXTY-FIVE YEARS AGO!
In 1S60 a blend of tobacco
was born?"Bull" Durham.
On quality alone it has
won recognition wherever
tobacco is know-n. It still
offers the public this?more
flavor, more enjoyment and
a lot more money left at the
end of a week's smoking.
